It is sunny and freezing here today but that's ok cause I am so excited!!

Yesterday I went for a ride to the lake and was so bummed because there were about 20+ Bald Eagles, both adults and adolescents sitting on the ice in the middle of Lake Mac (the small lake that flows into Lake Michigan) and I didn't have my camera!!!!! GRRRR!!!!!

BUT!

Fear not!

I went out this morning with camera in hand and as I turned the corner towards the lake I could see in the distant that they were there again!!

I was so excited I about peed my pants!

It was another gorgeous sunny morning so I went clicking away at all the wonderful wildlife that visits us each winter.

We get quite a few varieties of birds including Loons, Swans, mergansers, bufflehead and of course Bald Eagles. I have only seen the Loons on occasion and while some of the birds stay for the summer, most head farther north away from the more populated areas.

Anyway, here are my photos, they are a little blurry because I don't have a telephoto lens, but you get the idea. :)

I have come across a few new or new-to-me blogs and I just wanted to share them with you.

La Vie en Rose is a beautiful blog by Keity. She has beautiful photography and loves to garden and create beauty around her home.

Coral and Coast - Kirsty shares her love of the sea and decorating, she live in New Zealand and takes amazing photos of the world around her.

Sommerwhite - Gaby, who also lives in New Zealand but is orginally from Sweden, shares her love of the sea as well as Scandinavian design.

Art By Raliegh - I featured Raliegh a while ago and her beautiful watercolors that are inspired by her home in Hawaii. To my delight, she has created a blog to share her inspirations, paintings and island living with us.

*Thank you so much for all your kind comments about my Papa's carvings. It means so much to me that I can share them with you.
I also wanted to apologize for the confusion, my Papa is my grandpa, I called my grandparents Grammy and Papa, sorry about that.
